[ATM] Which tool for a 14 inch blank ?



Hello,
I'm starting a new project : it will be a 14 inch f/5 binocular 
telescope. The first step is to make the mirrors. So far I've ground 
only small mirrors (6 and 8 inch). I wonder what is the best tool size 
for a 14 inch mirror : full size or smaller ?

I think I will use a plate glass tool, because I don't have a garage and 
I don't want to mess with mixing plaster in my living room. The intended 
mirror blanks are 350mm (14 inch) in diameter and 38mm (1.5 inch) thick.
